Default Cessna's response to negative feedback on Skycatcher being built in China

Gitmo is a disgrace to the US. To try and justify it by any means is
ludicrous.

So during a war, you advocate returning prisoners of war?

I don't remember that happening during WW II or Vietnam, do you?

If you think that we are not at war, or that they are not enemy soldiers,
then you are ludicrous.

As big an embarrasment as Gitmo may be to you and many more Americans, I

outrageous administration.


But that administration was freely elected, so that means that at least half
the population is at least partially responsible.

One of the great things about freedom is that you may hold and express that
opinion and nobody has to agree with you. I do not think that very many
people agree with all the things the Shrub administration is doing. I think
that anyone who looks at waterboarding and some of the other receational
activities offered at these secret gov't run spas will come to a very
different opinion about whether it is torture than the Bush camp has.

The admin will change drastically when the election is held, regardless of
who wins. IMO any change will be for the better, but they better pay some
attention to the middle class or the classic notion of what the country
offers is no more.

No, the United States uses the electoral college to determine the
presidency, not the popular vote. Also, the winning candidate does not
need more than half of the votes, but simply needs to win all delegates at
the electoral college.

You are wrong again.


The winning candidate must receive a majority of the electoral vote.

Not that what I think matters, but I think that the 150/2s are great
looking, even better looking than the 172s. Doesn't the 150/2s
qualify for LSA status? I would sonner buy them over the new one and
just use the balance to fully pimp it out(zero time engine, new prop,
new interior and paintjob, new toys for the panel...etc.), but that's
just me.

Nope. Too heavy.

That was one of my major complaints about the new (was new) LSA rule. IMO,
the rule should have had a high enough weight limit that the 152 was light
enough to qualify.

Nah, way too heavy. I thnk LSA max is 1320 lbs.
I like the look of the older razorback 150s, but the rear window ones
are a little, uh, dumpy looking.
They do the job, though.

About the only previsouly certified airplanes that qualify are things
like Chiefs, Luscombe 8A (the 8E is too heavy) and stuff like that. The
150 grosses around 1500, maybe a bit more.

Shame that. I really like the C150/2s. I'll still try to save up for
one anyways.
